Women: How much does a guy's height really matter?

I`m 5`2`` and don`t wear very high heels. I think as long as a guy is 5`1 or taller, that is fine with me. Helps if he is a good dancer. I really do not care how tall a guy is, if he is fun to dance with. My husband is taller than me, though. But, I dance with a lot men that are not tall.

And look at Peter Dinklage. I`m sure he has no trouble with the ladies.

Height's not an issue (It is hard to find someone shorter than me, as I just recently broke 5'4" and I am 20).

I am 5'8" and my husband is over 6' and yes, I love that he is taller than me. I won't lie about that. But I have dated plenty of guys who were approximately my height (5'7-5'10") and even a couple of shorter guys. It was never an issue.

Of course non-physical traits, factors, etc, are very important - but when dealing with the PHYSICAL stuff, I was always FAR more concerned with other factors than height. I have known girls who would rather date a totally average looking 6'4" guy than a 5'8" guy with a gorgeous smile, intense eyes, nice shoulders/arms...I'm the opposite.

For me, the biggest potential issue would be the GUY having a problem with it or feeling weird about me being taller. Same deal with when I always dated big guys because I was overweight...I felt nervous that a guy might have issues with me being heavier/bigger. Although my husband was always "bigger" than me, he was thin and fit and I was obese when we first met and weighed more than he did. He didn't have an issue with it and by that time, I was at a level maturity-wise that I didn't either. I was attracted to him and could appreciate his very strong attraction to me.

I tend to think a lot of short guy/tall girl couples are adorable...whether I'm correct or not, it causes me to assume that they are both very confident and attracted to one another, and that's cool. I have never thought it looked "wrong" or weird.

I'm a tall girl, almost 5'10 and my boyfriend is about 5'11 and I would love him even if he were my height.

Being tall is attractive, but I would much rather be with a guy with substance.

I always thought I preferred tall guys, but my boyfriend is shorter (by about 1/4" and I never let him forget it) and it doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes I do miss wearing high heels though, since I don't want to tower over him.

Beautiful_dis I am super tall LOL

So women can be shallow too.... I dig that... And I come in at a towering 5' 8" ladies.... I also find women taller than me very attractive, does that make me weird? Society says yes.

It doesn't really. I think if he's shorter than me it could be a turn off (but not a deal breaker). But my partner is only 5 cms taller than me (2 inches), and I'm fine with that.

I should point out I'm 5'4, so there aren't many guys who are shorter than me.

It matters when I need something off the top shelf

We are most definitely shallow. No shame.

Don't worry... being shallow is a 2 way street, too bad the magazine industry never caught on to the desired body types that men seek in women.

All other factors being equal I would choose a tall man over a medium/short man. But in life all the other factors are very rarely equal. I do like being wrapped up in a hug from a man taller than me with strong arms.

If you're a straight guy under 6 feet tall you may as well just kill yourself now.

Joking.

I think the height difference matters more than absolute height. I think a difference greater than 4 inches is a bit awkward, regardless of which partner is the taller one.

Mine is taller than me :-)

It never really bothered me until I met my husband, I'm 5"1 he is 6"2 and he is just brilliant for reaching things in high up places :happy:
